How dose this new build sound?

also when u buy the gtx 670 u get the corsair 16gb half price Thats the reason im getting it may but 8 in this system and put 8 in the other as the other is only 1333 so could do with 1866
 
id get the ivy if i was you, as stated above it offers PCIE 3.0 virtu MVP etc and is a faster processor. i have an antec kuhler 620 on mine at stock speeds 3.8GHz with turbo boost and ive never seen it go over 35c playing BF3 for a few hours. the heat isnt an issue until you go for a serious overclock. why not get the newer tech? as other have said the new batch of Sandys don't overclock as well as previous batches. its up to you at the end of the day but you would be a fool not to go for the features Z77 and ivy offer imo.
 
Conclusion
Despite the higher-than-expected cost and higher operating temperatures, the Core i5-3570K is a worthy successor to the Core i5-2500K. It's noticeably faster, more power efficient, has a more powerful IGP and combined with a Z77 chipset motherboard, will offer far more features too. However, as with the Core i7-3770K, the upgrade from a 'K' series Sandy Bridge CPU represents poor value - the Core i5-3570K just isn't that much faster.

And look at them both at 5ghz (i will be overclocking)

I can see that in Shogun 2 a i5 3570k at stock speeds beat a i5 2500k at 5GHz. Also in ArmA 2 the difference is very little when overclocked to 5GHz.
Results will vary on every single game out there, you can't judge a processor on one or two games, because as you can see here they are VERY different and are dependent on the game/application.

yes, it means that if you already have a 2500k, you shouldnt upgrade.
NOT if you want to buy a new rig you should buy a 2500k over a 3570k
sigh...
